Fran : A life lived in fear is a life half lived.

Scott : Look, a beginner has no right to approach an Open Amateur.
Fran : Yeah, well an Open Amateur has no right to dance non-Federation steps, but you did, didn't you?
Scott : But that's different.
Fran : *How* is it different? You're just like the rest of them! You think you're different, but you're not, because you're just, you're just really scared! You're really scared to give someone new a go, because you think, you know, they might just be better than you are! Well, you're just pathetic, and you're gutless. You're a gutless wonder! Vivir con miedo, es como vivir a medias!

Fran : What happened to a life lived in fear and all that stuff?
Scott : Fran...
Fran : You really are a gutless wonder!
Scott : There's a reason for this.
Fran : I don't want to hear!
Scott : Listen to me!
Fran : No!
Scott : It's hard for me too, Fran.
Fran : *Hard*? Hard? How hard do you think it's been for *me*? To get you to dance with me in the first place? Frangipannidellasqueegymop. Wash the coffee cups, Fran, how's your skin, Fran? Hard?
Scott : You don't understand.
Fran : I understand. You've got your Pan Pacifics to win, and I'm back in Beginners, where I belong.
